With this hotel, you’re paying for convenience—15 min from anything in Gamla Stan; 15 min from anything in the museum district. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. That’s where the nice things end about this stay. I want to be clear that the things that need fixing are the responsibility of management and not the employees, who go above and beyond. But this hotel is charming in the common spaces, while the rooms are rundown. We booked 3 rooms; 2 of them had issues with sewage smells, 1 had a broken toilet, 1 had a problem with gnats and what appeared to be baby spiders. The shower is maybe 2ft X 4ft? Extremely narrow—and the tile has mold and mildew spots, as well as grout that is coming up or just missing in some places. The beds are comfortable, but the rooms are in desperate need of paint. Be advised you are on the corner of 2 very busy streets, so even with the windows closed, it’s very loud. The coffee machine was broken for 50% of our stay. And for guests who are differently abled or elderly: there is no elevator and this place is most definitely not wheelchair friendly. You pay for a nice hotel, but in the end, end up with a rundown-former-gem that is in desperate need of management to spend some money on room renovations.

The only complaint is that the weather was quite warm and we had to open our windows....sadly, the traffic was very loud all night, but of course, not the hotels fault. The staff and breakfast was exceptional!

Location, transportation, and dining options

The location was fabulous! It was across the street from the harbor and the walking path. There was a multitude of restaurants from which to choose to dine as well. The lady staffing the front desk recommended a nice restaurant a couple blocks away that served traditional fare. The entry was inconspicuous so we actually entered a restaurant first but were directed to the right location by a group of friendly people in the bar. The balcony in our room faced a courtyard that had limited parking spots. We could also see a small view of the harbor from the balcony. There is a small sitting room with a balcony that faces the waterfront. It’s on the same floor as the room in which we stayed and it’s a nice place to read. The breakfast they served was delicious. There is no elevator but the clerk offered to assist with luggage. The street in front provides transportation of many types including a bus to the cruise pier. It’s about a 5-10 minute walk following a blue line to make one’s way back to a ship from where the bus stops.

Hotel Esplanade is a unique hotel. It is wonderfully “dated” with character and comfort. We stayed in a very nice and spacious suite with a harbor view. As we stayed for 5 nights, an improvement would be a dresser to unpack and store clothing more easily. The hotel has a fantastic, friendly and helpful staff. We especially appreciated Joanna at the front desk. The breakfast was quite nice and well taken care of. Great location makes it very highly recommended in every way.

We loved staying at the Esplanade. The charm and character of the entire building was incredible. From the delicious breakfast spread each day to the relaxing sitting room upstairs to the outdoor balconies - we couldn’t get enough. We had split our trip between two different hotels and in the end were wishing we had stayed with the Esplanade for the entire time! Staff were all helpful and friendly. Will absolutely be back!

The hotel has a very relaxed and homely feeling to it with wonderful staff. The bed was comfortable and good showering facilities. Coffee and tea available all day in the downstairs lounge. Breakfast very good with homemade bread. Situated opposite some of the boat trip berths and in easy walking distance of most of Stockholm's tourist attractions.

Below average, even for Sweden’s (poor) standards of hospitality and service. No elevator, no help with luggage, leaky shower, blocked closet, few and old power outlets, tiny room. But great location, big windows, and nice authentic old Swedish interior. And inexpensive for the area.
